Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box (Guitar Cover)

[@Tomnedreb]

If you ever play a Nirvana song, please do it with passion. That's what Kurt would have wanted you to do and that’s the right way to play his songs. It doesn’t matter if you don’t hit every chord or every note correct as long as you just put some soul and passion into it.

[@xavierd.1668]

Even teen spirit?😅

[@Bert86]

spot on, it's the energy that Nirvana put into their live performances that made them so great, that's the one thing a lot of the covers completely ignore.

[@Tomnedreb]

I did not more any of the pic-ups to put it that way.

[@julianpottermusic]

Exactly, that's what a guy didn't understand on my cover he's like "Hey, you shouldn't sing and play, you missed a couple notes" like I literally don't care 😂

[@faber578]

the older versión of this was it perfect!

[@cat-jv2yt]

whenever i play nirvana’s songs i feel so badass. i always play them so much more passionately that other songs.

THIS is accurate and passionate, that's the way Kurt would have liked his songs to be played.

[@croissant4131]

accurate? he only used the first variation of the verse (intro version), and replaced all the others w it. The first one is easier but to play them as is in the original would be accurate

Kurt Cobain claimed that Heart Shaped Box was inspired by a television report of children suffering from cancer. However, many believe it was really written about his shaky but passionate relationship with his wife, Courtney Love. The lyrics do tend towards this latter interpretation, since they seem to concern themselves with an unstable romance between two individuals. It's worth noting that the lyrics mention Pisces and Cancer, Cobain's and Love's respective astrological signs. Love, after their second meeting sent a small heart-shaped box, containing, among other things, a doll's head, to his hotel room. This is believed to have inspired the song's title. Cobain and Love both shared a love and fascination of dolls. Tuning: Drop C#. Equipment used: Fender Kurt Cobain Jaguar, Tech 21 SansAmp Classic, Electro Harmonix Polychorus(solo) and Fender Mustang IV amp. Lyrics: She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Your advice Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet Cut myself on angel hair and baby's breath Broken hymen of 'Your Highness', I'm left black Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Your advice She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey! Wait!

[@Clankl33t]

I've waited for this, my all time favorite song of Nirvana. All these melancholic and emotional thoughts and deeds put into a song, it says a lot about Kurt and his deep feelings he had. The sad little sensitive, unappreciative, Pisces. The relationship had a major impact on him and unfortunately it came to a severe ending. Kurt's humble and passionate personality has influenced us all in many different ways. What a journey it has been, and now we're here to honor Kurt and Nirvana.

[@TheRafaelRamos]

[@jacksamunster4407]

I enjoy these guitar covers for a couple reasons. For one it's Nirvana who inspired me to actually pick up a guitar in the first place, and secondly you are playing all these songs with the same feeling and passion Kurt put behind it. Plus it doesn't hurt that unlike some people you are actually playing all of these songs correctly and pretty much like Kurt did. If you were like me growing up I studied all the movements, the little "tics" Kurt would do. Gone too soon and still missed terribly :(

[@pilsplease7561]

yes

[@miquel3657]

I've been following your stuff for a long long time and I just realized how much indentified I feel with what you do. You love Nirvana so much that you never get tired of playing their songs, even though they have a relatively small discography and the songs are sort of repetitive. You play them over and over and always seem to be having the time of your life, because it's your fav band and it's always gonna be. I wish I could find more people like you and me in real life, who could spend days and days just playing Nirvana songs just to have fun and mess around... But as far as I've seen, people tend to get tired of playing Nirvana too early due to the "overrated" or the "too easy" cliche. Damn there's nothing funnier than losing your shit playing a Nirvana song. Keep it up man!

[@Tomnedreb]

Brother, I could not have written how I feel better than u have.

[@FoliverFoden]

I actually thought I was one of the only people that enjoy playing Nirvana repetitively. I've been playing guitar for around 4 months and Nirvana is the only thing I've really been listening to and playing. Although I can mess up at times with certain songs cough cough love buzz cough but that's sort of what I enjoy, the scratchy noobie feel of playing a guitar. Makes it sound grunge I guess.

[@feugodelplancher]

let's have a meeting and play nirvana all day long :P i only play nirvana..i could play other stuff, but i don't feel the music as much as i do with Nirvana !

[@pilsplease7561]

Nirvana was a great group, and it sucks that Kurt died, but life doesnt always go the way we wished it would. I wasnt even alive when he died but hey. Nirvana was certainly the voice of a generation which was basically my dads generation. This song in particular is a favorite the opening riff is just so recognizable. I actually started years ago to attempt to learn the guitar, failed then tried and then i realized im a left handed guitar player. thats all it took.... We need a voice for the new generation a new Nirvana, Or the beatles etc a new group that plays raw real music that connects people together. Because its only gotten worse, I often wonder what Kurt would have said about how things are now. @@feugodelplancher

[@feugodelplancher]

@@pilsplease7561 i don't know if he would care. all they want ( nirvana ) was to play powerfull music with a lot of energy without being famous this much. Every show late 1991 befor the release of nevermind is such a contrast versus after nevermind, they become a business band and they realise this... :( today, evething is about perfection, but yesterday was about feeling / style / energy.

[@thibaudmeunier40]
